Forums >Racing>Carlsbad Half Marathon race report
oh wow, we were neck n neck! COngrats to you too! Hey, I looked at your profile picture...that's a nice shot of you heading up Torrey Pines...was that last years LJHM? I ran it last year and beat my Carlsbad time by almost 3 minutes...I thought it was a much easier course despite TP.
Yep, i've ran the LJHM three times 2005-7. My best times were 1:42 in 2005 and 2007. i've never been under 1:40 but maybe this year. I think the elevation changes just make it hard, TP is bad but that last climb at mile 12-13 is a killer at that stage in the race. Anyway, i'll be there this year - we can have a rematch Although, the la jolla half is my favourite race for the beautiful point to point course, and also the beer and ice cream puff pastries at the end.

Great race-- way to go LAB!!! You reap what you sow and you have been consistantly training. You will do great at SC and Boston. Will I be doing laundry those weeks ? The other day I was on the boardwalk next to the lifeguard tower as regular female runner went by. The guard I was with thinks she's cute. You met her in line for the bus back from the R&R last year (you beat her by a lot). Anyway, after she ran by I turned to the guard next to me and said, "My wife can kick her butt. Actually, she already kicked her butt once." He looked at me a little shocked. Partly because I don't normally talk that way and mostly because he knows that we train in martial arts. I had to clarify, but now he understands you're just a lot faster runner than her and not beating people up. As far as LJ 1/2 goes may be we can work out something through bartering.
